Tho People Of Newfoundland Reported TO
he on the Verge Of Rebellion Against
British Rule.
OTTAWA, ONT, March 8.--Advices from
Newfoundland show that in their ultima
tum TO the British Government In forward
ing the Bait bill for Imperial assent,
the Legislature of that colony Is
determined not to be tramplcd upon
by the Queen or by any in author
ity under her. The text of the address
Of the Legislature of Newfoundland to
the Imperial Government shows that tho
island is greatly excited. It says in effect
that Newfoundland will not submit to tho
situation. The address goes on to say
1--WE must decline respectfully to accept
the view that the French or any other for
eign power has status or consultative
claim in the control or disposition of our
property, and we humbly demur to any
recognition of their pretensions in this re-
spect We acknowledge no authority
but that of the Imperial Government,
and their rights of dominion are wisely
limited by our constitutional powers,
which secures for us the free exercise of
our instructed intelligence in tho manage
ment of our local affairs" The same ad-
vices state that the colony is OH the verge
Of an open rebellion, and that little
encouragement would be required to
cause general uprising against
the yoke of British connection,
which, they claim, bears heavily
upon them. Private dispatches received
here state that a strong sentiment favor
ing annexation to the United States is
spreading throughout tho province which
is likely to give serious trouble unless the
British Government yields in granting the
demand the Provincial Government is now
making

Storm
To Save Her Dying Husband, But without
Avail.

SHELL LAKE, Wis, March 2.--News has
Just reached here Of u heroic but unavail-
ing attempt of wife to save her husbands
life under peculiarly distressing circum.

wifely devotion rarely met. Thursday
Fritz Haas and his wife were at Shell
Lake doing some trading, and about two
o'clock in the afternoon started for
home. The couple had walked to town in
the morning, and they felt equal to the
task OF walking back again, a distance Of
five miles. 1t was a bitter cold day, and as
they advanced the wind began to blow.
Before half Of their journey had been ac-
complished they were wrapped in n blind
ing snowstorm and their progress became
slow and difficult. Soon MIR. Hass sank
down In the snow, completely exhausted
and unable to proceed. His now frantic
wife tried in vain to urge him on,
but she was compelled to leave him
and seek aid at the nearest house.
When she arrived at the house she
sought she found woman alone. 1t was
now about ten o'clock at night, but, taking
blankets, the two women started to succor
Mr.. Hass. He was unconscious when they
reached him, and with difficulty they sue
ceeded in getting him few rods further
toward Shell Lake. But Hass was large,
fieshy man, and the women were
compelled to abandon their efforts
in his behalf. Wrapping her ex-
haustcd husband in blankets and
giving him some nourishment, Mrs. Hass
sat down beside him, while her kind assist
ant started for her home. Mrs. Haas stay
ed with her husbsnd until he died, about
eight o'clock in the morning. When help
arrived ut the scene the unfortunate couple
was taken home, one nearly as lifeless as
the other. Mr.. Hass was seventy years
of age, and his faithful wife few years
